and harry reid the democratic leader says he doesn't want to do right now. this is in the house bill. there are changes in there. but house republicans want to do is pass their version of bill re-opening the government and extending the debt ceiling with their additions later today. and then this goes up to the senate and it would be up to the senate that they would strip out the provisions that they don't want. one other development that's happened in the last few minutes is that senate republicans were supposed to meet at the top of the hour, 11:00 a.m., they've now delayed that and they're waiting to have their regular weekly lunch at 12:30. perhaps part of that is they're trying to figure out the dance with the house republicans and try to figure out what the coreography will be after the house republicans will pass the bill later today. >> having said all of that, should we see this as a hopeful sign? we've got two days until we default. >> i think the answer so that will be yes, if. this is a big if. let's play this out. house republicans pass this bil
